CGA supports 150,000 primarily small-holder farmers as well as some large-scale farmers. In order to improve farm businesses and livelihoods, CGA offers cereal farmers a platform, operative administrative and communication structures, and business support services. CGA brings cereal farmers together to ensure collective action and sustainability for farming enterprises.<\/p>\n<p>To help CGA management assess performance in achieving its objectives, Ag-C, undertook a desk review of CGA\u2019s recent Strategic Plan. Periodic organization reports and member feedback testimonials were included in the review. Ag-C took a facilitative approach enabling the CGA team (management staff and field officers) to critically review their performance.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The exercise helped CGA management (i) clarify delivery objectives under its Strategic Plan; (ii) define approaches and adjust strategy delivery; and, (iii) assess required changes and potential challenges in achieving the expected impact. Throughout the exercise, Ag-C acted as coach and mentor. This facilitative approach helped the CGA team reflect on its purpose and how to best fulfill strategic alignment. Equally important, Ag-C, acting as a thought partner and mentor, helped the organization identify its strengths, and weaknesses and develop a strategy delivery matrix and a field-level cross-functional team management plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ag-C reviewed CGA\u2019s Monitoring and Evaluation (M&amp;E) framework and worked with management to provide more insight and analysis, beyond data collection, into its MEL framework. This included capturing field stories, farmers\u2019 feedback, and proposed improvements allowing CGA to tell its story from the beneficiary perspective.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the engagement, the CGA team had enhanced its strategy and designed delivery and MEL frameworks aligned to resonate with its mission.
